We were thinking of a school as the best institution yet devised by society for the de- velopment of a well-rounded personality. It was to be open to all on equal terms, and provide with progressive procedure opportunities as varied as the interests of varying individuals. It was to be a democracy Wherein pupils learn to live by living- NVe believed that education is a never ending process of growth for which the school must give direction. Its main purpose was to make the child a well-integrated personality, with high ideals, proper attitudes, a wholesome appreciation of, and an outlook that give meaning to life, a good citizen whose personality will make itself felt in the direction of a better democratic societyf' We are wondering today how well we have succeeded. ln the mids: of a world war, confusion of thought in many life circles, the problem of maintaining' a demo- ciacy faces us as never before. Our young people are wondering what life has in store as new problems meet them. Some face them squarely, and are preparing to meet them with the idea to serve their country and humanity in the best possible way, others give up and shrink before they test their abilities. Let us remember that each new problem and new situation is a challenge to new opportunities, a stepping stone to larger fields of service. If we wish to serve our country now and have a part in the construction of a peace in a democratic society which is to follow, we do not dare to Ulet down and choose the easy way. Let us go forward with our ideals of democracy. The best prepared will be able to serve most. all Out Support of alclminidlrafion he Jgoar of Education .....

This is done by ballot from the upper four classes. The results were tabulated by the annual staff and those receiving the most votes are pictured above. Preaen L4 Zine SBHLOPJ I' 1 I he P1-exg of the Clan of ,43 Speaka 'lr RALPH ALTHAUS, President Each year one class leaves the school and goes forth to take its place in this rapidly changing world. And, each year, a new class takes its place in the school. This year it is our turn to leave. We go forth with a confidence in ourselves and a will to succeed. Some of us will further our education in schools and colleges all over the country, others will find employment suited to their special tastes and will settle down with a small sigh for the good old days at school. Graduation, to some, will mean the realization of a fine ambition, to other-S it will mean the passing of the first real goal in their lives, but to all it will represent twelve glorious years of work, study, and play. As we live, it will be up to the juniors to take our places. Juniors, YOU must continue the traditions of this school, YOU must bring honor to the school in scholar- ship, in athletics, and in music and speech, and YOU, and all others who follow you, must see to it that Old Glory continues to wave over Bluffton High School and over all America. You will carry with you always our sincere wishes for your success. ' Ralph.

Blue Triangle is for all Junior High girls to join. It was started in the year 1938 and has continued ever since proving to be a very worth while organization. The Blue-Triangle is con sidered the little sister to the G. R. and Y. W C, A. The group usually meets every two weeks and the programs are of a varied nature. All mem- bers are asked to take part in our programs some time or another during the year. These types of programs make it more interesting and e ue riang e also creates a feeling of responsibility We had an outdoor picnic this fall and played many mterestlng games This was enyoyed 1m mensly by all So we are looking forward to more picnics next spring The mam purposes of this club are gettlng the girls togethei to form better friendship to help them to take on responsibility, and learn cooperation. This of course will make better citizens for this country, promising to be even more beneficial in our years to come. he Cutlafu The Cutlass rs a hrgh school newspaper pub lrshed by the students and for the students wrth the rdea of presentrng a prcture of the school 'rctrvrtres In addrtron to the mam events of the school, there are also columns that represent the opln rons of the student body The newspaper grves the students an oppor tunrty to practrce wrltrng rn the correct Journal rstrc style Wrrtrng heads edrtrng the artrcles and proof readrng are Jobs of the edrtorral Staff The staff has been handrcapped thrs year by a greatly restricted budget whrch has created the necessrty of reducrng the number of copres of publlcatron The arm of the Staff rs to express the unhrased oprnron of the student body to establrsh hrgh standards of conduct, scholarshrp, and sports manshrp, to encourage greater rnterest and par trcrpatron rn all school actrvrtres, and to promote stronger cooperatron between the students and the admrnrstratron r r row Margrrtt 1 rrtfrth Rrlph Altharrs llo ls Drrnrfon Davrd Smuclxer Otto Ixlassen ION!
